Full textThe core business of schools is to develop, implement and sustain an effective and efficient curriculum delivery process in order to provide quality education to all learners. External and internal changes though constantly affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the curriculum delivery process and it is required of schools to adapt and meet the demands that are required by these external as well as internal changes. Successful adaptation in an ever-changing environment also depends on how successful a school transforms itself into a learning organisation, develops conducive learning circumstances for learners and encourages constant learning by staff members as well. Research in this respect indicates that principals play a very important role in transforming schools into learning organisations. Schools as learning organisations are also recognised as complex organisations, which consist of multiple relationships or linkages between educators, learners, parents, fellow colleagues, provincial and national education departments, government, service providers, as well as other stakeholders. These relationships are never stable, nor predictable and it requires of principals to monitor, understand and interpret changing circumstances and respond appropriately. Appropriate responses must reflect our country’s constitutional values, which promote collaboration and consultation with all stakeholders. It also requires of school principals to apply a leadership approach, which not only facilitates participation by all stakeholders, but which focuses on empowerment as well. Furthermore, the role of principals in leading and managing schools has changed tremendously and there is a great need to empower principals and school management teams with facilitatory-and-empowering leadership competencies. Such competencies will enable them to understand, interpret and manage change in collaboration with other role-players much more effectively. It will also enhance their ability to effectively lead and efficiently manage the curriculum delivery process and all other supportive systems, such as the academic planning, assessment, finance, procurement, maintenance and human resources systems. Considering the former, this study focuses on the development of a governance model for schools, which considers schools as complex organisations continuously affected by change in the external as well as internal environment. Hence, the governance model provides principals and senior staff members with the understanding how to manage these changes in terms of principles which are derived from complexity theory. Complexity theory informs the practice of school leadership coherently and provides principals with the insight to look at the school educational system as a whole in order to advance organisational effectiveness continuously. According to complexity theory, no system is stagnant; it constantly changes, adapts, learns and evolves. The governance model therefore outlines various facilitatory-and-empowering leadership approaches which are required to cope in an environment which are continuously affected by change. It also illustrates the supporting role of effective communication and sound labour relations in this respect and outlines various management roles, which are required of the principal to transform schools into learning organisations. The governance model also focuses in particular on three essential governance processes, which are applicable to the translation of monetary allocations into appropriate nonpersonnel resources. These governance processes are budgeting, cost management and information technology. The last part of the model focuses on the various control systems for quality assurance purposes, such as whole school evaluation, systemic evaluation, performance appraisal and risk management. In conclusion, West Bank secondary school was used as a case study to experiment with and study the impact of appropriate leadership approaches, management roles, governance processes and controls. The integration of existing research and practice knowledge at this institution aims to extend the scope of application of the governance model to all schools in South Africa and elsewhere in the world.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The transformation of education in South Africa has provided broader and better opportunities to school communities to make more purposeful and effective changes to the culture of learning. The primary focus of this research is to accentuate the importance of school policy and its role in the management structure of the school. The new South African Schools Act (1996) allows for greater parent involvement, responsibility, power and rights. Consequently the governing body has been allocated decision-making powers regarding school policy formulation. A literature study to discuss the broad concept of educational policy and related concepts such as education system, governance and school policy, was undertaken. There was a specific focus on three policy areas, namely admission policy, discipline policy and uniform policy as well as the formulation of policy in schools. Empirical research was done at six selected schools through unstructured interviews with the persons concerned to collect the data. Policy gives direction, serves as a point of departure and gives power to the organisation. Written policy documents were absent at most of the schools due to the fact of insufficient training in policy formulation. Recommendations from the literature study could be useful to schools in fulfilling their needs. Key words: School policy; School management; Governance; Admission policy; Discipline policy; Uniform policy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die transformasie van die onderwysstelsel in Suid-Afrika bied groter en beter geleenthede vir skoolgemeenskappe om doelgerigte en effektiewe veranderinge aan die leerkultuur te maak. Die primêre doel van die navorsing is om die belangrikheid van skoolbeleid en die rol wat dit speel in die bestuurstrukture van die skool, te beklemtoon. Die nuwe Suid-Afrikaanse Skolewet (1996) het groter ouerbetrokkenheid, verantwoordelikheid, regte en magte verleen, met ander woorde die beheerliggaam het besluitnemingsbevoegdhede rakende die skool ten opsigte van beleidsformulering. 'n Literatuurstudie om die oorkoepelende begrip onderwysbeleid te bespreek en aanverwante begrippe soos, onderwysstelsel, beheer en skoolbeleid te verduidelik, is onderneem. Daar was spesifiek gelet op drie beleidsareas naamlik: toelatings, dissipline en uniformbeleid asook die formulering van 'n skoolbeleid. Die beIeidsareas is bespreek aan die hand van riglyne uit die Skolewet en die ontleding van data wat verkry is uit die ondersoek. 'n Empiriese ondersoek is by ses geselekteerde skole gedoen en die nodige data is deur ongestruktureerde onderhoudvoering met belanghebbendes bekom. Beleid gee rigting, dien as 'n vertrekpunt en gee mag aan 'n organisasie. Geskrewe beleidsdokumente het by meeste van die skole ontbreek en dit kan toegeskryf word aan 'n tekort aan opleiding in die formulering van skoolbeleid. Aanbevelings uit die literatuur kan deur die skole gebruik word indien dit die skool se behoefte bevredig. Sleutelwoorde: Skoolbeleid; Skoolbestuur; Beheer; Dissiplinebeleid; Toelatingsbeleid; Uniformbeleid.

Full textThis study focuses on the effect of management on learner performance in secondary schools. The Grade 12 senior certificate results are used in the study as a standard benchmark. The researcher acknowledges that there may be other factors that contribute to poor performance of learners. A case study of schools in Nongoma (Nhlophenkulu circuit) was used. The three schools that were selected in the case study represent the best performing school in Grade 12 results for the past three years; the middle performing school in Grade 12 results for the past three years; and the poor performing school in Grade 12 for the past three years. In investigating the problem the researcher used both observations and a questionnaire as a way of collecting data information in the selected schools. The middle and the poor performing schools’ problems pointed to the poor management of the schools under study. In the best performing school the analysis of the data revealed that the school was well managed with support structures in and outside the school. It could therefore be deduced that management does have an impact on learner performance. The findings further revealed that a school can not operate in isolation but needs other stakeholders and outside assistance.

Full textThe Emil Weder High School is in the small rural town of Genadendal, which is situated about 150 kilometres south-east of Cape Town, near Caledon. While doing field work for the Education Foundation early in 1994, one of the schools I Weder High School. It was the last of visited was Emil six House of Representatives schools that I visited, and I immediately noticed a difference at Emil Weder, compared to the other schools. The school buildings and surrounding fields and gardens were very neat and well maintained, the students were neatly dressed and very polite· and the staff were far friendlier than we had previously encountered. My initial impressions of a well-run school were confirmed, when I found out that the school is achieving outstanding academic and extra-mural results. I naturally assumed that this was the norm at the school and was very surprised to find out that it was, in fact, a fairly new phenomenon and that as recently as 1990 the school had experienced student unrest, boycotts, vandalism, gang activities and very poor academic results (in 1990 only 48% of their matriculants passed). Yet, in 1991 the pass rate was 88%, in 1992 it was 100% and last year they had a 98,8% pass rate (one failure). The topic to be researched Based on the above information I developed the hypothesis that certain school-level policy changes had occurred at Emil Weder from 1990 onwards which had led to the establishment of a culture of learning at Emil Weder High School. The purpose of my study was to find out whether policies had in fact changed at the school, and to what extent these new policies could explain the dramatic improvement in Matriculation results at the school. The study was conducted in two distinct phases, one in March 1994 and the other in September 1994. The initial study formed part of the Education Foundation and served to give an overview of how the school operated at the time. The follow-up study took much longer as it involved conducting in-depth interviews with teachers, ex-students and parents. The study revealed that by adopting a multi-level approach to improving the school, with the achievement of better Matriculation results being the major area of focus, the school not only improved these results, but that the school also started achieving better outputs in other areas as well.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Following significant changes in legislation since the enactment of The Constitution of South Africa, 1996, and also accelerated by the ratification of the South African School Act of 1996, the array of services delegated to schools has placed an ever greater responsibility on school governing bodies and principals. Key to those responsibilities is the capacity to manage school finances. Although the South African Schools Act gives schools freedom to exercise their authority in managing school finances, along with this goes the responsibility to maintain with due regard proper accountability and control over the expenditure of public funds. This investigative research study looked at the extent to which the financial management systems employed in schools in utilizing Section 21 funding comply with relevant legislative and policy framework. In terms of financial management, schools are divided into two categories. There are Section 20 schools whose budget is centralized and managed by the Department of Education. Then there are Section 21 schools whose budget is decentralized to schools and these schools have sovereignty in managing their financial resources in compliance with relevant legislation, policies and procedures. A non-empirical study was undertaken which reviewed and analyzed literature on a financial management legislative framework as well as systems and procedures of financial management applicable to public institutions in general and those that relate specifically to schools. Subsequent to that, an empirical investigation was conducted. A questionnaire was issued to 72 principals who formed the sample of the study. The sample represented 21.3% of the total number of Section 21 Schools in the district of Mthatha. The questionnaire was administered to solicit the extent to which principals understand and apply the legislation, policies and procedures that underpin financial management systems in schools. Focus group interviews were held with school finance committees. These discussions were used to collect a wider range of information and insight on how schools manage financial resources. A qualitative financial documentary analysis was conducted in four schools. To achieve a holistic understanding of the research problem in-depth interviews were also conducted with district officials. The study revealed that, there is indeed a noteworthy divergence between the directives of the applicable financial policies and financial management practices in the majority of schools. The most critical deviations identified include, absence of clear policy directives on procurement procedures and financial controls, poor financial recording and lack of clarity on the roles and responsibilities of different financial structures. The key recommendation of the study is the establishment of an internal audit unit within the district which will serve as a basis of the fiscal oversight processes for schools. Since this unit will work closely with schools, this will advance significant improvements in financial accountability, systems of internal control in school and general financial administration processes. This unit will advance ongoing support in the form of training, monitoring and mentoring of the governing bodies and principals to inculcate strong financial leadership in schools.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: As gevolg van betekenisvolle verandering in wetgewing sedert die promulgasie van die S.A. Grondwet in 1996, en bespoedig deur die bekragtiging van die Suid-Afrikaanse Skolewet van 1996, word ’n uiteenlopende verskeidenheid bevoegdhede tans aan skole toegewys. Dit plaas toenemende verantwoordelikheid in die hande van beheerliggame en skoolhoofde. Aan die kern hiervan lê die bevoegdheid om skoolfinansies te bestuur. Alhoewel die Suid-Afrikaanse Skolewet vryheid aan skole verleen om hulle gedelegeerde mag betreffende finansies na goeddunke uit te oefen, gaan dit gepaard met verantwoordelikheid om omsigtigheid aan die dag te lê en aanspreeklikheid vir die aanwending van openbare fondse te aanvaar. Hierdie ondersoekende studie het nagevors in watter mate die finansiële bestuurstelsel wat skole gebruik om Seksie 21-befondsing te benut, voldoen aan die vereistes van die relevante wetgewing en voorgeskrewe beleidsraamwerk. Skole word, volgens finansiële bestuursreëls, in twee kategorieë verdeel. Daar is Seksie 20-skole, wie se begrotings gesentraliseer en deur die Departement van Onderwys bestuur word. Daar is ook Seksie 21-skole wie se begrotings gedesentraliseer is. Laasgenoemde skole besit dus die volwaardige reg om hul finansiële hulpbronne self te bestuur; solank dit voldoen aan voorgeskrewe wetgewing, beleid en prosedure. ’n Nie-empiriese studie is onderneem om die toepaslike literatuur oor finansiële bestuur en die betrokke wetgewingsraamwerk in oënskou te neem. Verder is die sisteme en finansiële bestuursprosedures wat betrekking het op openbare instellings in die algemeen, en op skole in die besonder, ook ondersoek. Hierna is ’n empierise ondersoek gedoen. ’n Vraelys is aan 72 skoolhoofde, die monster vir die ondersoek, gerig. Dié monster het 21.3% van die totale aantal Seksie 21-skole in die Mthatha-distrik verteenwoordig. Die vraelys was sodanig saamgestel en geadministreer dat dit die nodige inligting sou bekom om te kan bepaal tot watter mate skoolhoofde wetgewing, beleid en prosedure, wat finansiële bestuurstelsels in skole ondersteun, verstaan en toepas. Gefokusde groep-onderhoude is met skole se finanskomitees gevoer. Hierdie besprekings is aangewend om ’n wyer reeks inligting en insigte te bekom oor hoe skole hulle finasiele hulpbronne bestuur. ’n Kwalitatiewe dokumentêre analise van vier skole se finansiële state is uitgevoer. Om ’n meer omvattende begrip van die navorsingsproblematiek te bekom, is in diepte onderhoude, op ’n een-tot-een basis, ook met distriksamptenare gevoer. Dit het aangedui dat daar inderdaad, by ’n meerderheid skole, ten opsigte van die voorgeskrewe finansiële beleid en bestuur, noemenswaardig uiteenlopende toepassing van riglyne was. Die mees kritieke afwykings geïdentifiseer, sluit in: gebrek aan duidelike beleidsriglyne oor aanskaffingsprosedure en finansiële beheer, swak boekhouding en onduidelikheid oor die verpligtings en verantwoordelikhede van die verskillende finansiële strukture. Die studie se sleutelaanbeveling is dat ’n interne ouditeenheid vir die distrik tot stand gebring moet word. Dit sal die ruggraat vorm vir die fiskale toesighoudingsproses vir die betrokke skole. Aangesien hierdie ouditeenheid nou saam met skole sal werk, sal dit tot betekenisvolle verbetering van interne finansiële beheerstelsels van skole lei en beter algemene finansiële beheer en administratiewe aanspreeklikheid tot gevolg hê. Hierdie eenheid sal deurlopend, deur middel van opleiding, monitering en mentorskap aan bestuursliggame en skoolhoofde, ondersteuning verleen. Sodoende sal ’n kultuur van sterk finansiële leierskap in skole gevestig word.

Full textFollowing the events of South Africa's democratisation in 1994, the country is undergoing transformation processes in virtually all spheres of life. Education is widely accepted as the one field where transformation is most needed. However at school level so many' complexities exist, that the management of the process of change and transformation requires a new approach to the effective training and development of education managers. It is precisely in this regard, that this research report seeks to offer an insight into the existing situation and understand the difficulties involved in attempts to address this need, with specific focus on the need for training and development of middle and senior management. One notable attempt to address the need for formal training and development programs for education managers and leaders in order to meet the demands of transformation, is the organisation development (OD) approach of the Teacher lnservice Project (TIP). Embodied in the OD approach of TIP, is the philosophy and methodology of Action Research, which encourages self-reflective enquiry and allows participants to be active in their own transformation process. In an attempt to locate TIP within the existing literature, the study shows how much it breaks new ground in the field. This new ground is reflected in the role assigned to action research within OD. TIP's approach to educational management and leadership, has value to both historically disadvantaged as well as advantaged schools, because its understanding of transformation is not solely based on the acquisition of material resources. The present educational crisis has to do with the provision of adequate resources to especially disadvantaged schools. The Western Cape Education Department (WECD) has taken cognisance of the transformational role of education management, in that it has called on Western Cape Business to advise on school administration. School governance and management would have full responsibility for monetary allocations and thus schools would be trained to run like small businesses. As stated by the Executive Director of the WCED, 'being a principal will change radically and require thinking like a company MD', (Cape Times, 13 March 1998). However this begs the question of how justified the implementation of corporate world practices in education is. One should bear in mind that fiscal expertise is but one of the plethora of skills which current education managers require. OD through action research could seemingly effect transformation of the entire system within which that school operates. Conclusions drawn from this research report clearly point to the interdependence of educational transformation as espoused by TIP - to restructure and redefine school management and the national attempt to consolidate democracy within education. TIP helps to focus attention on the need to implement School Based Management (SBM) as an exercise of empowering the teaching profession, because in essence, a critical and constructive disposition is developed in educators through Action Research.

Given the complex context which challenges the contemporary private schools and, therefore, its own administration, this research – action – formation is aimed at answering the following questions: Who is the administrator of a school today? An educator or a manager? By making use of an interdisciplinary account of the researcher’s life story, the study seeks to systematize elements that could criticise a reality which offers risks to the identity of the school which, on its turn, has compromised its mission; and at the same time, seeks to present possibilities of ways and actions towards the building up of the curriculum of the professional that administrates schools today. From this moviment, it has become possible to develop a series of theoretical and practical inputs in order to build a curriculum abounding potentials to overcome existing dichotomies inside a school these days, particularly the Administration/Educational one, as it has been guided by the Interdisciplinarity, which enables to address the complexity of a school in a more suitable way, since it is integrated and, thus, integrator. This curriculum is organized upon three bases: Strong theoretical and practical formation; interdisciplinary experience and self – awareness. It enables the qualification of a school educator – administrator (answer to the initial questions) competent enough to articulate a wide range of contribution in the approach of school and educational contemporary elements. Through this journey, this professional has the opportunity to develop his own skills: consistency, humbleness, detachment, respect, waiting ability and capability to conceive a Phylosophy of School Administration
Diante de um contexto complexo, que desafia a escola privada contemporânea e, consequentemente, sua administração, a presente pesquisa-ação-formação objetivou responder às seguintes questões: quem é o administrador de uma escola hoje? Um educador, ou um administrador? Por meio de uma narrativa interdisciplinar da história de vida do pesquisador, buscou-se sistematizar elementos que pudessem criticar uma realidade que oferece riscos à identidade da escola e que, por isso, têm comprometido sua missão; e, ao mesmo tempo, apresentar possibilidades de caminhos e ações direcionadas à construção de um currículo do profissional que a administra hoje. A partir desse movimento, foi possível construir uma série de aportes teóricos e práticos para o desenvolvimento de um currículo repleto de potencialidades de superação das dicotomias existentes no interior da escola hoje, em especial, a pedagógico/administrativo, porque pautado na Interdisciplinaridade, o que lhe permite abordar de maneira mais adequada a complexidade do contexto escolar, por ser integrado e, consequentemente, integrador. Esse currículo estrutura-se a partir de três bases: vivência interdisciplinar; sólida formação teórica e prática; autoconhecimento. Ele possibilita a formação de um educador administrador escolar (resposta às questões iniciais) competente para articular os mais variados aportes na abordagem dos elementos escolares e educacionais contemporâneos, necessários para uma adequada administração da escola. Por meio dessa jornada, esse profissional tem a oportunidade de desenvolver competências próprias: coerência, humildade, desapego, respeito, espera e capacidade para engendrar uma Filosofia da Administração Escolar

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Conflicts and dysfunctionality in public schools is often the cause of poor school performance and learner outcomes. This often is a direct result of poor school governance. Studies have previously identified a number of factors affecting the standard of school governance. One of these is absence of an effective monitoring and evaluation system for school governance. The current approach of Whole School Evaluation, which incorporates the Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS), unfortunately does not possess adequate tools for the measurement of school governance with view to identifying specific areas of failure. School governance failures are widespread and costly, but effective governance can provide significant benefits not just for the schools but also for the department, the community and the learners themselves. However, there are two challenges: moving beyond suggestive anecdotes to a systematic approach for measuring the governance of schools, and using the data and rigorous analysis to support schools and improve governance. The researcher has designed a measurement instrument to address this particular gap in the management of public schools. This takes the form of a balanced scorecard based on the Kaplan and Norton Model, but has been specifically developed for measuring the public, education and non-profit sector. A number of school governance performance areas based on regulatory frameworks such as the South African Schools Act (Act 84 of 1996) have been linked to specific indicators and measures. These performance areas related to key targets in order to ascertain the achievement of good school governance outcomes. A learning and developmental approach in the form of a peer review format using a clear and simple process has been developed to apply this measurement system. Through an evaluation study the normative model was applied and tested at selected special schools throughout the Education Management and Development Centres (EMDC) in the Western Cape to test the hypothesis that such a balanced scorecard effectively measures school governance while identifying actual areas of failure. It therefore enables School Governing Bodies (SGBs) to focus on these failures in order to improve school governance and therefore promote the schools’ overall performance. The outcomes of the study have been so impressive that the system can be further developed with stakeholder organisations utilising an online approach that can improve management and save time in view of the schools’ “time-on-task” focus. This is the national government term for time management in teaching and learning in schools. Participants at selected schools further indicated that, with effective orientation and training of SGBs and application teams, this instrument can produce good school and learner outcomes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Konflik en wanfunksionering in openbare skole is dikwels die oorsaak van swak skoolprestasie en leerder-uitkomste. Dit is dikwels ‘n direkte gevolg van swak skoolbestuur. Vorige studies het ‘n aantal faktore geïdentifiseer wat die standaard van skoolbestuur raak. Een van hulle is die afwesigheid van ‘n stelsel vir “doeltreffende monitering en evaluering” van skoolbestuur Die huidige benadering van Totale Skoolevaluering wat die Geïntegreerde Gehaltebeheerstelsel (IQMS) insluit, beskik ongelukkig nie oor voldoende meting van skoolbestuur met die oog op die uitkenning van spesifieke tekortkominge nie. Waar tekortkominge ten opsigte van skoolbestuur wydverspreid en duur is, is dit ook so dat doeltreffende bestuur beduidende voordele kan hê, nie alleenlik vir skole nie, maar ook vir die departement, die gemeenskap en die leerder as sulks. Daar is egter twee uitdagings wat gestel word: om verby voorgestelde wenke te beweeg na ‘n sistematiese benadering vir die meet van die bestuursaard van skole, en om van die data en nougesette analise gebruik te maak om skole te ondersteun en hulle bestuur ‘n helpende hand te bied. Die navorser het ‘n meetinstrument ontwerp om hierdie spesifieke gaping in die bestuur van openbare skole aan te spreek. Dit is in die vorm van ‘n gebalanseede telkaart, gebaseer op Kaplan en Norton (1996), maar wat spesifiek vir die meet van die openbare, onderwys- en nie-winsgewende sektor ontwikkel is. ‘n Aantal prestasies wat spesifiek met skoolbestuur te make het en op regulerende raamwerke soos die Suid-Afrikaanse Skolewet gerig is, is gekoppel aan spesifieke indikatore en maatreëls en met sleutel-teikens belyn met die oog op die bereiking van skooluitkomste. ‘n Leer- en ontwikkelingsbenadering in die vorm van ‘n portierhersieningsformaat, waar ‘n duidelike en eenvoudige proses gebruik is, is ontwikkel om hierdie metingstelsel toe te pas. ‘n Normatiewe model is deur middel van ‘n evalueringstudie toegepas en aan geselekteerde, spesiale skole regdeur die Onderwysbestuur en Ontwikkelingsentrums in Wes-Kaapland getoets met die doel om die hipotese te toets dat so ‘n gebalanseerde telkaart skoolbestuur doeltreffend meet en tegelykertyd ook tekortkominge identifiseer. Vervolgens stel dit Skoolbeheerliggame in staat om op hierdie tekortkominge te fokus ten einde skoolbestuur te verbeter en daarmee saam die skool se oorhoofse prestasie te bevorder. Die resultaat van die studie was so indrukwekkend dat die stelsel verder in samewerking met belanghebbende instansies ontwikkel kan word deur die gebruikmaking van ‘n aanlyn-benadering wat bestuur kan bevorder en tyd spaar, veral in die lig van skole se fokus op “tyd op ‘n taak.” Deelnemers by geselekteerde skole het aangedui dat dié instrument puik skool- en leerder-uitkomste sou kon lewer indien daar doelmatige oriëntasie en opleiding van Skoolbeheerliggame en toepassingspanne is.

Full textThis research report is based on integration of strategy formulation and implementation in the Greater Sekhukhune District Department of Basic Education, Limpopo Province. The purpose of this research is to investigate the key drivers in the formulation and implementation of strategies and how can they be integrated to achieve the formulated goals and objectives of Greater Sekhukhune District Department of Basic Education. This report deals only with qualitative research method. The major findings of the study are that there are key drivers of strategy formulation and key drivers of strategy implementation and their outcomes. The key drivers of strategy formulation are the vision and mission statements, long-term objectives, and generation and selection of grand strategies; whereas the key drivers of strategy implementation are leadership, organizational culture and organizational structure .The integration of these key drivers is essential for the implementation of strategies, leading to improved service delivery to various stakeholders. The report concludes that in order to approach strategy formulation and strategy implementation in an integrated manner, the following should take place : (1) managers and staff members who are responsible for strategy implementation should also be involved in strategy formulation processes ; (2)organizational culture should be changed to create a conducive environment for the managers and the employees to be motivated to render quality services at service points ; (3) leadership and management to guide vision and mission of the district; (4) organizational structure to ‘fit’ implementation of strategies for efficiency and effectiveness of the integration of strategy formulation and implementation to achieve formulated goals and objectives.

Full textIn higher education policies for the development of science in Mexico, from the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) in the National Quality Postgraduate Program (PNPC) to determine the quality of the educational program, it is suggested that monitoring of graduates. The objective is to know the competences that the Mexican postgraduate provides to graduates and their concretion in the labor insertion from professionalizing and research opportunities. Descriptive analysis, student's t tests, linear regression models, linear probability models, logistic regression models and multiple correspondence analysis are performed. The characteristics of the exit path are identified. It was also found that the competencies that graduates acquire the most and apply the most are related to disciplinary knowledge, critical and creative thinking skills, leadership, skills related to academic and scientific activity. It was found that there are significant differences between the levels of competencies with the postgraduate level. It was found that the applied competencies that contribute to the quality of employment of postgraduate graduates are related to scientific abilities. It was found that the variables that improve job characteristics are related to graduate level, working years and the area of knowledge. It was also found, based on the results of the applied competencies, according to the opinion of graduates and employers, that they are mainly requiring disciplinary knowledge, leadership, scientific skills, entrepreneurial attitudes and emotional education. It was found that the applied generic competences of the graduate related to leadership and emotional capacities express a relationship to teach classes; and leadership ability express relationship to direct thesis. It was found that the economic remuneration is related to the academic production having intellectual property or registration. It was found that the tertiary productive sector and applied generic competence linked to work-personal emotional capacity is related to participation in research projects, dissemination and dissemination of knowledge, bonding actions between peers or colleagues, and bonding actions between peers or colleagues from belonging to the SNI in Mexico. It was found that the work-personal emotional capacity is related to teaching classes and it was found that the capacity for reflective thinking is related to directing thesis. And it was found that professional profiles are useful for the graduate to have academic production. From this type of study, it is possible to identify the skills that graduates acquire and their impact. It is possible to affirm that the levels of competences are having an impact on the labor insertion of graduates and to achieve academic production. These benefits are for graduates but also for educational programs because through this evidence they are corroborating the application of professional profiles and graduation profiles.

Full textThe Pedagogical Political Project is presented as an instrument of academic management, pointing alternative paths and establishing commitments in search of an IES identity and the course it offers. Therefore, the PPP is instituted from intentional actions with an explicit sense and a commitment defended collectively. This study was intended for knowing and analyzing the way of acting of a coordinator of an Accounting Sciences course facing the construction process of the Pedagogical Political project as a response to the curricular changes instituted, and therefore, to point out challenges, difficulties and progress originating from it. For this, a descriptive research was performed with a qualitative approach. The data were obtained from interviews and document analysis. A participative leadership style and democratic management of the coordination of the investigated course was observed, as well as the decentralization of the pedagogical management effort using strategies and actions looking for the involving everyone in the curricular decision making process. Actions such as the creation of deliberative instances, pedagogical meetings, meetings and other participative actions were detected. Delegating functions and implementing changes in the course indicate that the exercise of autonomy and participation are the most valued pillars by the coordination. Despite the intentions and the participative actions in the construction of the PPP, there are challenges to be overcome by the course coordination such as implementing a competence curriculum with a vision focused in the labour market not in the market, a vision still present in DCNs. The desired profile for the accountant currently demands reviewing the curricula theory and adopted methodologies for increasing the learning process and student development. It is concluded that a participative leadership style allows knowledge mobility, professional and interpersonal experiences that promote the engagement of everybody in the academic activities and results, motivating them to accept the challenges of the path towards the scientifical and technological formation of students. However, this pedagogical manager profile shall be related to a complex and systemic scientific paradigm and with a question and doubt pedagogy that allows the interaction and dialogue between disciplines and actors involved, transforming static and conservative academic spaces into dynamic, democratic and transforming spaces
O Projeto Pol??tico Pedag??gico apresenta-se como um instrumento de gest??o acad??mica que aponta caminhos alternativos e estabelece compromissos para a busca da identidade da IES e do curso que oferece. Assim, o PPP se institui a partir de a????es intencionais, com um sentido expl??cito e com um compromisso defendido coletivamente. Este estudo teve como objetivo conhecer e analisar o modo de atua????o do coordenador de um curso de ci??ncias cont??beis diante do processo de constru????o do Projeto Pol??tico Pedag??gico como resposta ??s mudan??as curriculares institu??das, e, assim evidenciar desafios, dificuldades e avan??os da?? decorrentes. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista e de an??lise documental. Constatou-se um estilo de lideran??a participativa e de gest??o democr??tica da coordena????o do curso investigado, bem como, o esfor??o pela descentraliza????o da gest??o pedag??gica com a utiliza????o de estrat??gias e a????es que buscam o envolvimento de todos nas tomadas de decis??es curriculares. Foram detectadas a????es como a cria????o de inst??ncias deliberativas, reuni??es pedag??gicas, encontros, e outras a????es participativas. A delega????o de fun????es e a implementa????o de mudan??as no curso indicam que o exerc??cio da autonomia e a participa????o s??o os pilares mais valorizados pela coordena????o. Apesar das inten????es e das a????es participativas na constru????o do PPP, existem desafios a serem superados pela coordena????o do curso tais como a implementa????o de um curr??culo por compet??ncias com uma vis??o focada no mundo do trabalho e n??o mercadol??gica, presente ainda nas DCNs. O perfil desejado para o contador na contemporaneidade exige a revis??o da teoria dos curr??culos e das metodologias adotadas para fomentar a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento dos acad??micos. Conclui-se que um estilo de lideran??a participativa permite a mobiliza????o de saberes, de experi??ncias profissionais e interpessoais que promovem o envolvimento de todos nas atividades acad??micas e nos resultados motivando-os a aceitar os desafios da caminhada rumo ?? forma????o cientifica e tecnol??gica dos alunos. Entretanto, este perfil de gestor pedag??gico deve relacionar-se com um paradigma cient??fico complexo e sist??mico e com uma pedagogia da d??vida e da pergunta que permita a intera????o e o di??logo entre as disciplinas e os atores envolvidos, transformando espa??os acad??micos est??ticos e conservadores em din??micos, democr??ticos e transformadores
